Overview

The Fredrickson group conducts a broad range of research activities in
theoretical and computational polymer science, many of these aimed at
understanding self-assembling polymers and complex fluids, and especially
block copolymer systems. A computational tool that is unique to the group is
the "Field-Theoretic Simulation" technique, which is a numerical procedure
for simulating statistical field theory models of complex polymer
formulations. The group also maintains strong interactions with experimental
teams in academia and industry throughout the world.
